the disc crash is related to anydvd-style corruption on the leaked copy available through torrents, last time i checked bitgamer. it got nuked within a few hours of coming out, but people still downloaded it, loaded it up, and got pissed when it didn't work. which is epic lulz if you think about it =) i'm definitely getting this for the PS3. i thought about 360 for a while, but with the news about the general pixel rate of the gameplay (576p for 360, 720p for PS3) and the cutscenes (blink-compressed 720p for 360, 1080p for PS3) is alone enough to make me want the PS3 version, not to mention that i just need to play this game on a sony system. edit: dunnowhathuh, the battle mechanic is totally changed from what it was in FFXII. not even close. so don't worry about it - most reviews list it as a high point in the game, not a problem area.

i'll do that. some specifics for generic categories could include -"current gen consoles", encompassing PS3, 360, Wii, PSP/go, and DS/i -"older gen consoles", encompassing everything from atari to ps2 -"PC gaming", encompassing everything involving PC gaming including emulation, current pc games -"music hardware/software", encompassing all audio production gear and software, from winamp to logic to interfaces to headphones, including reviews, previews, and rants against/for certain items -"game design/theory", encompassing posts about the nature of the industry and relevance to current trends across all consoles -"music", encompassing all topics about music that aren't related to games (like, album reviews of mainstream bands, have-you-heard-this threads, etc) -"off-topic", encompassing best-sandwich threads and wacky's posts about being a creepy boyfriend in australia. you might want to split up consoles and handhelds, at least for current stuff, since the crossover isn't necessarily there. you'd likely NOT want a 'discussion' tag of any kind, as that'd make the forums obsolete (or at least overlap functionality). going too generic kills functionality of it, particularly when the three you suggested will almost always overlap with at least one other topic all the time (games with music, games with anime, etc). getting as specific as possible without cutting into sub-genres will allow for more freedom, i think.

for PS1, i've got the classicsl: FF7, FF8, and chrono cross. wasn't a fan of FF9, and while i owned FF origins and anthology at one point, the DS version of chrono trigger and the GBA versions of FF1 and 2 (on my psp) make up for not paying fifty dollars a set

fantastic. thanks for the update, man. i don't care that it'll take a while - i was just curious if there was still a timeline.

is there any reason you want a laptop? the nature of them is that they overheat and break within a few years, as opposed to a desktop (which is also upgradeable and costs less for better performance).

i've got okami, both KH games, both GOW games, FFX, X-2, and XII, shadow of the colossus, and a few other random ones i picked up.

i had one. i have a backwards-compatible PS3 now, so i have a virtual one, currently. didn't get one until last year, though =)

guess who just bought a 47" tv just in time for FFXIII? =) =) =) =)

happy birthday, jill! hope all's well with married life.

i'll bet it means you ran out of memory.

that's what IRC is for.

probably because he can look at the IP addresses that all posts come from. vbulletin has a feature that allows you to click a user or post and track all other posts or users from that same IP. at least, the other board i have access to lets me do this =)

i'm looking to sell the 32" 720p LCD tv that i bought from kaden about this time last year. it's in great condition, never had a problem with it - just want a bigger TV. it's made by dynex - just look on best buy's website, there's loads of information there. it's an HDTV - 720p - and i've used it extensively with a 360 and a PS3, and it works great. does well for my n64 and SNES, too =) there are no dead pixels. 275$, plus the shipping cost. dunno what that'd be, but i'm sure it'd be a decent amount. i'm willing to drive a few hours to meet you somewhere, too. i'm from central new york. i'd prefer local, honestly, since packaging it up and mailing it out can be scary. i posted this on craigslist as well, but we'll see what people say. i haven't heard much from the local 'net yet.

ten bucks says you don't know them all =)

is it bad if i know who most of the submissions were by based on the sound? bet no one can guess mine =)

yeah, if he didn't notice the big banner on the front page

as for the jazz bass, i use the fender jazz bass soundfont from naturalstudios. probably not available from their site anymore, but try googling for it and you might find it. it's about 25mb. not the best all-around sound, and sounds kind of weak out of the box, but good EQing and some basic compression fix that quick.

make sure you know what you're asking for. do you need samples, like a better guitar, or do you need a better distortion effect, like what makes the guitar rawk? power chords get their distinct sound from the overtones created by in-tune perfect fifths BEFORE the distortion comes in - so, layering two distorted samples on top lack the punch that you get from a chord that's distorted afterwards. if you want free, i don't know much - but if you've got the cash, shreddage is a ridiculously good sample library, and guitar rig 4 is probably one of the best amp modelers available for under a few thousand dollars.

i seem to remember virt posting a 21 gig webfolder of every song ever from vgmix. i'll bet it's in there somewhere.

sorry for the dp, but i wanted to post this - barnes and noble is selling the collectors edition for under 25$ shipped, including tax and everything. link here.

they did, i checked right after my post. they'll come back in relatively soon, though. brandon, there's two reasons to want a strat guide. one, is that it takes a little while for all the hidden gems to show up online - for those of us playing the game more than once to get the achievements (like you will, mr. 55k), you don't want to miss anything the first or second time around. second, it's a COLLECTORS edition, numbskull

interestingly enough, amazon is also selling the collector's strat guide for 19$ or so. huzzah!

insert "wii sports sold more systems than any other game ever, and yet was the worst thing that could have happened to the wii" argument here.

alright, updated. whew, there was a lot there! maxfrost, i didn't see yoshi's island on the first post under you (AMT's got one, but not you). got everything else. relyanCe, i might hit you up for a title design and a little artwork for my website, which i'm currently learning how to handle. how much for a relatively simple header design?

check the first post, kid.
